All the mail are there in INBOX only.
Comment 2 André Klapper 2004-11-25 17:39:08 UTC 
make sure that you set up an *outgoing* filter and not an *incoming*,
perhaps that's the reason...?

you need to enable "filter incoming messages to INBOX" in the account
settings.

you also need to make sure you don't let any other IMAP client see the
INBOX before evolution does or Evolution won't filter the messages
ebcause the server will remove the \Recent flag (which is how evo
decides if the mail is "new" or not)
